Here’s what other attendees had to say about Hernandez and McCollough’s Loewe debut.

Jack and Lazaro showed that they have a natural affinity with the codes of Loewe. They were respectful yet completely themselves. Their consistently innovative silhouettes and reimagined modes of dressing, as well as their artistic use of textures and materials, is a perfect match. This debut was a fast start, kicked off with a wake-up blast of sound, and moved with a fast-paced intensity of purpose and confidence. It’s no surprise that the applause began before the models even finished the finale.

I thought it was incredible. I mean, I’ve known those guys for 25 years, and I think that all of their dreams are coming true. I think it was commercial and wearable and beautiful — A+. It’s exciting when talented people get great jobs.
Chloe Malle, head of editorial content for Vogue
It was a bold, bright, electric debut for Jack and Laz at Loewe. There were strong strains of the silhouettes we’ve always loved from them at Proenza: asymmetrical hemlines, rounded shoulders, but a sharp injection of Loewe with saturated, splashy Spanish flair. It felt like a collection to wear for all weather, with brimmed rain hats, slick windbreakers and PVC-heeled pointy-toe clompers. The slouchy, boxy bag that was a hero accessory on the runway feels like a runaway hit to me.
